Konkurs: ein unverdientes Ende? Das Schicksal der Willy H. Schlieker KG, 1962–1967
The paper briefly describes the colorful career of the West German entrepreneur, Willy H. Schlieker and the rise to prominence of his one-man business conglomerate. It then goes on to discuss reasons and three hypotheses which purport to explain the company’s failure: entrepreneurial failure, a conspiracy among a number of his powerful creditors who were also competitors interested in eliminating an uncomfortable business rival; and the self-interested behavior of the court-appointed insolvence administrator. It concludes that the fate of Schlieker’s company was sealed by the way the administrator conducted bankruptcy procedures.
